Fauchon Tea Tin

That's how I met this teatinwhile browsing at MeowPaw's wonderful minis on Flickr. I go hunting every morning for interesting things to paint among the mad mini collectors...

And don't you know it was just like a tea tin from Fauchon, one of my fav Paris places to browse...

We used to have one in New York and every Sunday I used to go browse religiously...just like going to church...

Now I have to go to Paris if I want to browse. So many lovely things to look at...

And I would LOVE to wear one of these outfits! Do you need a New Yorker Fauchon to help taste new cakes and assist tourists?

First thing I'd like to try out is this "squared" citron tarte...sigh

OH! Another squared thing..a "Rubik" tarte definitely needs tasting in my opinion. YUM! Triple Framboise YUM!YIKES! A macaron gateaux! I wish I could send this lovely goodie basket to you Atsuko-san, for sending me your mini tea tin all the way from Japan.

Thank you for bringing images of lovely sweetness on a Monday morning. I enjoy your themes, always fun. Someday I'll have that trip to Paris and it will feel a bit more familiar because I will have seen some great shops through your eyes.

Love this post about the Fauchon tins...I have been collection the tea and madelaine tins for years...Your watercolor composition of the tin with teacup is just stunning...Merci for sharing this lovely post.Bisous,TM

I also like the shop Fauchon in Paris, and I love your painting (as usual!)!

I was in Paris and in Belgium.I bought the caramel tea at BOISSIER. If you like caramel tea, I really recommend to get one.Also, I bought a packet of vanilla tea at Mariage. It was not sooo special, but I also recommend the tea jeree.There are about 10 different flavor of tea jeree.Wish you a very nice new week and I am looking forward to your new post.

I really enjoy to see this! At this year it will attend at the Maison & Objet the brand Boca do Lobo. They are incredible in fusing old styles with contemporary aspects. Visit www.bocadolobo.com and get in love!
